.22 CCI segment tip rimfire ammo

[niffkin 1]

HI all

 

Has any one tried .22 CCI segment tip rimfire ammo ?

 

If so do they reduce richochet ?

I've tried them and they are much better as far as ricochets are concerned. Now the bad news:

1. They are difficult to chamber in my bolt action browning

2. The case somtimes sticks in the chamber and is a fiddle to remove.

The above two might make them useles for a semi auto

3. They are not nearly as acurate as eleys in my rifle

4. They are more expensive

5. They seem alot louder than eleys sometimes going of with a right crack don't seem subsonic.

 

Because of these problems I haven't shot any bunnies with them yet the noise is really off putting, other people say they kill very well and are accurate so I haven't given up on them yet. Have only shot 50 and have another 150 to go.

None of my test shots ricocheted but when I shot a couple of eleyus to compare the noise one of them ricochet straight away.

I really want them to work as one of the places I control rabbits is surrounded by houses.

 

As a concept they're great and I hope one of the better manufacturers(eley winchester) take it on and get it right.

 

Your best bet is to try a couple of boxes see how your rifle goes, post back about it I'd love to know how someone else has got on with them.
